I decided to create some watercoloured flowers today, and these bright colours made for such a cheerful design. Out came the Build-A-Flower: Anemone and a beautiful floral set called Whimsical Flowers.

I decided it would be easier for you to see these brushes in action so I created a video to show you my card process.
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.

I am impressed with the colours in this set of Water Color Brushes and as they are named Spring Garden that there will be other sets to look forward to. Of course, as is usual Therese you have, once again, managed to come up with yet another gorgeous card. Love it!!

Beautiful card! I love the colors they chose for this set of watercolor brush markers. These are colors I would need the refills for as I would use them so much. Love watching the way you created your card.

So annoying…I write out my comment and then when I have to sign in again at WordPress my comment goes away and I have to re-enter it…even tho’ I have said to REMEMBER ME the last time I signed in!!!! GRRRRR!

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, these computers make things easier and harder for us and sometimes really difficult lol. I am so happy you stopped by and thank you for your lovely comments, Crafty hugs, Therese

Sooooo beautiful! I love the colors you chose for this gorgeous card. I always think of watercolor as more pastel but these colors are vibrant and delicious!! Your shading is so elegant. Thanks for the video on how to use these brush markers. They look like they would be so fun to use!

Wow…thank you for contributing to the blog. First time for me watching your videos, and I have to tell you I am SO impressed with your artistry! I just had to hit that subscribe button so I dont miss out on any of your inspiration!

Gorgeous, gorgeous card ! I love seeing your work, it never fails to blow my socks off & inspire me. Loving the look you have got using these watercolour markers, very pretty, great yoghurt colour not seen that before.

I love that emerald flower. Your coloring is fantastic. Thanks for the video. I am new to watercolor markers, having just bought my first ones a couple weeks ago. My first attempt to use them was a disaster so now I’m trying to watch videos to learn how to use them. Your card looks great!

Hi Annette, I am not sure which brand you bought but a BIG help to me was when I tried different cardstocks until I found one that ‘worked well’ and so far it’s the Bristol Smooth Cardstock every time. Hope this helps. Crafty hugs, Therese

Love to watch you make cards, also you re-stamp the card after you color it, I have tried that but I have messed up my card sometimes, for some reason even with my Misty I still don’t always get the card in exactly the same spot. So I’ve given that up but I think it does make a difference because your lines are so bold and the card looks so good —–

Hi Lyn, I have messed up when restamping too, but only a couple of times and it’s very frustrating for sure. I always just sit my cardstock in the same corner of the MISTI each time (try not to think too much about it) and stamp and 9.8 times out of 10 it’s fine. I think it does make a difference too so I tolerate those few times when it doesn’t happen to plan lol. Hope you have a great and crafty day, thanks so much for stopping by and for your lovely comments, Hugs, Therese

Hello Therese. I love watching you colour. The Alternew stamps are awesome to colour. I only have a few but love them all. I am learning to water colour and think these pens would be a great help. You make it look easy Therese. Cheers.

Oh my goodness… I would LOVE to give these a try since watercoloring is my favorite medium and actually the only coloring method I feel comfortable to use!
Thanks for your continuous inspiration Therese !

Therese, your card made me smile as I love anenomes. We have some soft pink ones growing right outside our door. I always appreciate them each time I walk by. Your card is so beautiful. I am always appreciative of your videos too. I’ve yet to try watercolour markers as they intimidate me. Watercolour is my favourite medium, but I can’t seem to do it.

Yes you have it again. Another fantastic card Therase. Since watching you I have loved all your cards but these watercour markers seem to make it look so easy. I love to try and watercolour and i do mean try and theses new markers may be my answer. I need to buy them soon. Keep your cards coming please.thanks, Christine

Loved your video using these wonderful markers. Thanks for all the tips on how you get the shading and the colors you used. Not sure if I would’ve considered doing a green flower but, as usual when you finish, It is gorgeous!

You did a great job of painting those flowers in the bouquet. The flowers are so vibrant and just pop off the page. I LOVED the emerald color you used for the biggest flower!!! I would not have thought of using that color for a flower. Now I will have to try that color myself. Thanks for sharing your talent!

I always love watching you create. You’re so upbeat, and your cards reflect your happy attitude. This is a particularly fun card; I really like the bold flowers on the spicy yogurt cardstock. Thanks for sharing with us!

Beautiful card, beautiful colors. I have the Whimsical Flowers stamps and use them often, but it never occurred to me to combine them with other stamps. Thanks for the inspiration. These markers are going on my wish list.
